Names for German Shepherd dogs

Male German Shepherds range between 24 and 26 inches in height, while their weight can range between 66 and 88 lbs. German Shepherds are very intelligent and active dogs. They need to be involved in a task or job in order to be happy, satisfied, and have a good mental stability. If treated as a lapdog or as a sleepy cat, a German Shepherd will probably get bored, pick up bad habits, and its behavior will consequently become unstable and spoilt.

If we keep it in a flat (which is not its ideal environment), we should at least teach it and regularly review the basic obedience training. Additionally, we can teach them fun tricks such as bringing us our slippers, the newspaper, or other similar activities. German Shepherds need to fit in the family by carrying out a specific function that gives them motivation and keeps them alert.

Collecting toys and putting them in a box at a specific time, or after being ordered to do so, can be an excellent exercise. Do not overdo. You don't need to teach them how to iron or put beer in the fridge!

Female German Shepherds range between 22 and 24 inches in height, while their weight can range between 49 and 71 lbs.

They are as intelligent as male German Shepherds, even more when it comes to guiding their puppies. Puppies scrap their pads on their mother's ear, pull the mother's nail, and pull her back hair out. Female German Shepherds have an infinite patience with their puppies.
